Also, through use of interviews of patients with diabetes or hypertension, their caregivers and clinicians, we identify factors that can facilitate the design and implementation of culturally relevant evidence-based interventions for promoting medication adherence among adults with diabetes or hypertension. To the best of our knowledge, the study is the first to identify culturally relevant beliefs, knowledge and attitudes that can facilitate the design of medication adherence interventions for uninsured and insured patients from socio-ecological perspectives of the patients, their caregivers and clinicians. It identifies the extent of medication non-adherence in patients with diabetes or hypertension, generate pilot data to help guide the design of culturally relevant interventions for medication adherence, and create interdisciplinary partnerships for writing grant proposals to test the efficacy of culturally relevant interventions for promoting medication management in African American populations. Leslie Cizmas, PhD Impact of Nanoparticles on the Formation and Toxicity of Disinfection Byproducts during Water Chlorination This project systematically investigates the impact of nanoparticles (NPs) on the formation and toxicity of drinking water disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water supplies. Various types of NPs are being used in a number of consumer and industrial products, which ultimately enter into water systems and may greatly influence the formation of DBPs. Research examining the influence of NPs on DBP formation and toxicity is critically needed. Aims include chlorinating water samples containing TiO2 NPs, ZnO NPs or Ag NPs, characterizing the NPs after chlorination, chemically analyzing production of trihalomethane and haloacetic acid DBPs, and assessing the toxicity of the DBPs produced in the presence

  • Production, Characterization and Application of Ferrate(VI) in Water and Wastewater Treatments
    Br. J. Anal. Chem., 2019, 6 (25) pp 40-57 Review DOI: 10.30744/brjac.2179-3425.RV-19-2019 Production, Characterization and Application of Ferrate(VI) in Water and Wastewater Treatments Alexis Munyengabe Caliphs Zvinowanda* Department of Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Science, Doornfontein Campus, University of Johannesburg Corner Nind and Beit Streets, P.O. Box 17011, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2028 Graphical Abstract Investigation into the production, characterization and application of ferrate(VI) in water and wastewater treatment to enable metal removal through oxidation and coagulation processes and recommended in perspective for AMD treatment as a sustainable process. This paper aimed at reviewing different research work done on the synthesis of ferrate(VI) salts of potassium and or sodium, their applications in industrial wastewater, municipal sewage and water treatment. In this review, it was found that ferrate(VI) salt can exhibit more than one function in water and wastewater treatment as this chemical can take the roles of coagulants, flocculants, antioxidant, bactericide or disinfectant, and oxidant. Despite these properties, its availability on the market in a solid state is still a big problem due to its high cost and difficulties during its production as well as its chemical instability. Furthermore, suitable methods or procedures for manufacturing pure and stable ferrate(VI) salts were established in the past decades but are too expensive to produce sufficient quantities required for a large-scale water and wastewater treatment. Current ferrate synthesis methods include wet chemical oxidation, dry and electrochemical techniques. Among them, the wet oxidation method is the most applicable and safe to generate ferrate(VI) as dry and electrochemical methods can provoke detonation due to elevated temperatures and high concentration of electrolytes used, respectively.

Abstract VI 2 Recently, the tetraoxy high-valent iron(VI), known as ferrate(VI) (Fe(VI); Fe O4 ), received a great attention as a water-treatment chemical, because of its unique oxidation, disinfection, and coagulation properties. Though Fe(VI) has shown remarkable efficiency in oxidizing several pollutants in water, it has sluggish reactivity with some emerging organic contaminants, especially at basic pH conditions. Thus, the main objective of this PhD thesis was to activate or catalyze Fe(VI) oxidation reactions, at mild alkaline pH conditions, to enhance the oxidative transformation of organic pollutants and reduce the required dosage of Fe(VI) and contact time.

Sharma1,2 · Libor Machala2 © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 Abstract This paper presents thermal decomposition of potassium ferrate(VI) (K2FeO4) and barium ferrate(VI) (BaFeO4) in air and nitrogen atmosphere. Mossbauer¨ spectroscopy and nuclear forward scattering (NFS) synchrotron radiation approaches are reviewed to advance understanding of electron-transfer processes involved in reduction of ferrate(VI) to Fe(III) phases. Direct evidences of FeV and FeIV as intermediate iron species using the V IV applied techniques are given. Thermal decomposition of K2FeO4 involved Fe ,Fe ,and IV K3FeO3 as intermediate species while BaFeO3 (i.e. Fe ) was the only intermediate species during the decomposition of BaFeO4. Nature of ferrite species, formed as final Fe(III) species, of thermal decomposition of K2FeO4 and BaFeO4 under different conditions are evaluated. Steps of the mechanisms of thermal decomposition of ferrate(VI), which reason- ably explained experimental observations of applied approaches in conjunction with thermal and surface techniques, are summarized.
